Comprehensive Incentive Structure
Featuring both greater incentives and dramatically improved energy efficiency, the comprehensive plan provides whole building retrofit projects with up to a $1,200 per dwelling unit.
Comprehensive project incentives are provided on a dollar per dwelling unit basis, with two tiers of incentives based on a project’s total points. The higher the tier, the higher the incentive amount per dwelling unit. The points range from 5 to 50 and have been assigned to each measure category in the table below.
POINTS PER MEASURE
|
40 Points Per Measure (High Value EE) |
30 Points Per Measure (High-Medium Value) |
20 Points Per Measure (Medium Value EE) |
10 Points Per Measure (Light-Medium Value EE) |
5 Points (Light Touch EE) |
| •Windows replacement • Insulation (roof / wall) • Boiler replacement |
• Domestic hot water heater replacements | • Central cooling • Elevators • Ventilation such as energy recovery ventilators |
• Air sealing • Steam traps • HVAC electric controls (BMS, thermostats) • Motors and drives • Energy management system (EMS) • Hot water and steam pipe insulation |
• Boiler clean & tune • Common area lighting • In-unit direct install measures such as faucet aerators, showerheads, LEDs • Appliances (stoves, refrigerators, washer / dryers, dishwasher) • Orifice plates • Thermostatic Radiator Valves (TRVs) |
Any project that accumulates 100 or more total points qualifies as a comprehensive project.
